Plucking

[TERRY4]

During molt, the comb gets very pale and dried out. Possibly, the chickens were attracted to the bare skin on her tail and neck, instinctively searching for tasty treats. If you see a whole bunch of pin feathers on the bald areas, you have molt going on. You just need to protect the hen from getting her pin feathers plucked out. I find Blu-kote helps to camouflage them. The only drawback is it will stain the tips of the newly emerging feathers unless you carefully paint around them.

Thank you for the insight and tip. I will be blucoating her later on. I dont mind if she's stained.
